'Why?' WSJ editorial rages at Trump's 'self-defeating bullying' of NATO ally

By Daniel Hampton
Published January 6, 2026 9:30 PM ET

The Wall Street Journal editorial board delivered a scathing rebuke of President Donald Trump's escalating rhetoric over Greenland, warning that his invasion threats are backfiring and handing Russian President Vladimir Putin a golden opportunity.

The conservative board penned the piece Tuesday with the blunt title: "Invade Greenland? Why?" The editors wrote that while Trump has "good strategic instincts" about Greenland, they called it "regrettable" that his interest is "devolving into a self-defeating exercise in U.S. bullying."

The board agreed that the U.S. has legitimate strategic concerns, including its vital submarine lanes, missile-defense radars, and rare-earth mineral reserves. However, the board flatly rejected the notion of military force.
